I like when grind/pv bands play 20-30 minute sets. Short, intense sets that don't drag on too long. 7 minutes is pretty pathetic and anything under 20 is kinda lazy. But if a grind band played for an hour it would feel too long, at least for me.

I'm glad I don't like hardcore. Fuck paying actual money for someone to turn up and do 30 minutes.

It's expected though, a headlining hardcore set is 45 minutes MAX with the majority being 30-40 minutes. That amount of time gives them the change to do a nonstop energy show without people getting bored, tired, etc. Ever bigger crossover bands like Hatebreeds headliner is only around 1 Hour 10 minutes or so and that is usually 20 something songs. Plus hardcore shows aren't pricy. Unless its a fest or a weird one off show a average hardcore show that is running on a tour is within $10-$15 (sometimes not even that much).

I've had multiple little minor attacks over the last week or two, but today while at the bank (yup, when out in public, my worst fear) I got the BIG one. Blurred vision, weakness, fear of fainting, the whole deal! (haven't had one this bad for many years). Still feeling tense and shaky and weak like it's still happening.... blah

I need to find a way to drum more and get rid of the tension my body likes to build up
